About BIRG-ing and CORF-ing in football (and sports in general). For me, a true fan of a, for example, football team will not CORF when the team fails. Instead, they will support the team even harder, in order to get it back to the glory. The sense of belonging of many sports fans is so strong that they will take both the victories and the failures of their team, and be alongside it no matter how it's going. As we say here in Spain, "en las buenas y en las malas" (in the "goods" and in the "bads"). Sincerely, A wholehearted football fan from Spain.

[@StrazdasLT]

***** The word "gold" originates from the germanic languages and it literally means "stick/club" Archer comes from latin origins and mean "bowmaker". so archery is competition ogf people using bows. Volleyball is actually accurate, because it uses a ball and you need to volley it (volley means to discharge, remove, get rid off). as your goal is to get rid of the ball from your side before it reaches the ground. The word Hockey is a description of the shape of staffs used to play it. Sorry, i dont know about rugby.

[@Aethryx]

Thankfully the real world is much more nuanced than Hollywood stereotypes. There are people likely who grew up as "nerds" who were bullied by the "jocks", but it's also very common for people to be athletically talented and smart at the same time while also being wonderful people. From personal experience, I went through school as a scrawny nerd but the jocks were nice protective people while the bullies were other random kids. I was friends with a few jock types, and it was kinda funny admittedly watching them immediately get fat after high school ended.

3:37 I think the interesting thing to think about is, do we draw the line of “sport” where game is, or where conflict is? If sports were games instead of just any conflict with other people, then that would remove things like track and cheerleading from being considered sports and would instead be known as competitions.

Michael: Makes this video Mind games: Am I a joke to you?

[@Oscuros]

Other mammals even with small brains, like cats are seen to engage in play-fighting when young where fighting is simulated, but play is broken if one party is injured. These are seen as clearly linked with survival practice and mammalian behaviour, which can be taught by learning and conditioning. This was easily extended to human with not just fighting and sports, but also with forms of social play that children are seen to engage with, which is more abstracted and therefore human, but still within that mammalian ambit of play. There have been extensions from that into psychological game playing, politics, economics, game theory. I like that your videos initially answered those questions that you might not get taught in the normal school system, but children often ask, like about why we wear clothes. I didn't even mention how social, linguistic norms also go into that mix but hey, it's a learned behaviour that's also innate to us.

I get the feeling games are also sort of about character building -- entertainment. If you're stuck in a rut of menial tasks, you begin to feel sort of depressed, or bored. Games not only help us internally achieve goals, but they also keep us from growing cynical, I think. It's an expression of happiness or even a social thing, I bet.
